Hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did! Has this opened up some inspiration for you, too??

[@simonminay5177]

So this is basically a pendulum wave form over the selected notes. I've been saying there needs to be a plugin which can do this easier. I believe there is a guy working on this, whether it will become a vst plugin is another matter, but I found his channel explores this musical device in great detail: www.youtube.com/@LucidRhythms

[@MrBrownAlliance]

Polyrhythms are so hard to make but are so satisfying

[@EDMTips]

Couldn't agree more :) There are several ways to make the process easier (as I've been told in the comments)

[@NonJohns]

there's a video called "How to make a Pendulum Wave Sequence" recreating the VR video with a pretty neat technique, and VR made a comment saying that's exactly what he did now... if VR used the technique... surely its a good one

[@raksipulikka]

With little programming knowledge this can be easily automated ;) Less than 20 lines of python code will do the trick. Following code will create a midifile with similar effect. from midiutil import MIDIFile # MIDI note numbers, C major notes = [60, 62, 64, 65, 67, 69, 71, 72] offset = -0.01 # modifying this will change how fast the timing diverges sweeps = 100 noteduration = 0.1 # midifile midi = MIDIFile(1) # track, time, tempo midi.addTempo(0, 0, 100) for j in range(sweeps): for i, pitch in enumerate(notes): # track, channel, pitch, time, duration, volume midi.addNote(0, 0, pitch, j * (1 + i * offset), noteduration, 1) with open("arpeggio.mid", "wb") as output_file: midi.writeFile(output_file)

Usually I'm sort of annoyed how most things are explained as arpeggiator, now IT IS a simple arpeggiator with (possible) an extra parameter... and it's gets a whole dang video. Amazing.

[@simonbrich4108]

Notes at the end are curved because the timing difference between note 1 and 2 is the same as the difference between 2 and 3 and so on. It can be fixed if you generate the midi file with some python code: from mido import * barLength = 120*4*4 numOfBars = 57 lastTimeToPlay = barLength * (numOfBars - numOfBars/114) # = 57.5 noteLength = barLength*3/16 # Here you can Modify which notes are Played for example 59 and is B2 is played 114 times within the 57 Bars. # 57 is 2 semitones lower so A2 and is played 113 times. noteIncidence = [(59, 114), (57, 113), (55, 112), (53, 111), (52, 110), (50, 109), (48, 108), (47, 107), (45, 106), (43, 105), (41, 104), (40, 103), (38, 102), (36, 101)] notesTimings = [] for (note, incidence) in noteIncidence: for k in range(incidence): notesTimings.append((note, (k * lastTimeToPlay) / (incidence - 1), True)) notesTimings.append((note, (k * lastTimeToPlay) / (incidence - 1) + noteLength, False)) notesTimings = sorted(notesTimings, key=lambda note: note[1]) track = MidiTrack() timePassed = 0 for (note,time,b) in notesTimings: delta = round(time-timePassed) if b: track.append(Message('note_on', channel=0, note=note, velocity=80, time=delta)) else: track.append(Message('note_off', channel=0, note=note, velocity=80, time=delta)) timePassed += delta track.append(MetaMessage('end_of_track', time=round(barLength*numOfBars))) newMidiFile = MidiFile() newMidiFile.tracks.append(track) newMidiFile.save('polyrhythm.mid')

[@AdventureDriver]

Thanks. A slightly faster way is to change the order in which you make the polyrhythm. 1. First complete the lines in an octave/chord. 2. Select all those lines and copy to new octave. 3. shift right the new octave the number of notes in the chord. 4. select the first notes and shift left the number of notes in the chord. 5. repeat from 2.

[@EDMTips]

Great tip, thank you for sharing!

[@EricHanuise]

I got a feeling that polyrhythmic piece would be easier to setup using a modular synth. Single note, with LFOs and delays to generate the chords and vary the offsets maybe?

[@EDMTips]

Oh interesting approach! Great input!

[@jellycoding]

This was a big thing in the Reason community for like 15 - 20 years ago. And I remember I saw a video for about 10 years ago when someone did this in FL Studio. I think the FL Studio guy created a poly bar with the right length for every note and then just duplicated the bar. He just wrote how many copies he wanted and hit Enter. If I remember correctly.

[@aidanviets7286]

Nice thanks!! So much potential behiend this! Expacially in psytrance

[@felixoum7901]

Man I almost never feel the need to comment but this thing going on with this track is going out of knowledge... I will start by honestly thinking that this track from Virtual Riot is pretty cool and I love himself as an artist (seen him once live in Montreal years ago) and I am NOT taking anything away from this song. It is a cool track but this is NOT polyrhythms. I wonder how many musicians watched thiis or the actual video and smack their head but just moved on with their lives. This is simply subdivision melodies. EVERYTHING in the song moves at 4/4. All the melody divisions happen to land on the 4/4 signature. There is no time signature changes anywhere in the song. Only progressions. The purpose of this comment is NOT to spread hate or offense or destroy nobodys work. It is simply to educate future or learning musicians the right information. I hope this comment will help some as it is the purpose. (If you want a clear example of polyrhythm listen to Animals by Muse. Many exemple in the song but the outro is a pure polyrhythm section between the drum and the melody that you can clearly hear.)

[@SLEEPYDOGINU]

just because a song is based in 4/4 and most things work in 4/4 time doesn't mean the polyrhythms in the track aren't polyrhythms

[@gankie1956]

I saw that video and thought of you man lol Crazy that you made a video on it now

[@EDMTips]

Haha pleased to know you thought of me! Here it is!😁

[@giganooz]

I must imagine virtual riot probably did this by coding a program that just spits out a midi file. Would be a pretty simple task.

[@EDMTips]

Maybe for them but since my coding knowledge is non-existent, I went a different way :)

[@you-know-its-dog.]

This video is really cool. The Polyrhythm is crazy.

[@EDMTips]

Thanks! Yeah, it was really fun to just hit play and tweak the settings :)

[@you-know-its-dog.]

Virtual riot is truly a genius with music production and sound design. He’s on a whole other level.

[@EDMTips]

[@jenssieckmann]

Great video. Isn't that the pentatonic scale? I often used that for woodwind runs in my orchestral works but I found out that it also works very well for synth arps in EDM.

[@EDMTips]

Thanks! I suppose technically it is a pentatonic scale, yes

[@davidgildegomezperez4364]

You can generate the midi patterns just by writing a little bit of code and that way you save a lot of time...

[@EDMTips]

I wish I could code but I had to do it the old school way 🙂

[@threeMetreJim]

Parts of that remind me of: Origin unknown - valley of the shadows. Must be the saw-wave synth.

[@EDMTips]

Classic

[@musicforthemind3421]

Its from a sample cd called Future Music. The Valley of the shadows sample starts of a normal bell type sound, then this effect comes in. Maybe the original programmer did loads of different delay speeds to get that effect back then?

[@threeMetreJim]

@@musicforthemind3421 Thanks for the information - I should have known, having downloaded that cd some time ago ! It just caught my attention as being quite similar when Will was playing around with the sound.

[@AiBoru]

A MIDI Effects Rack with multiple chains of unsynced arpeggiator with rate control mapped to a single macro adjusted to a different range for each chain could have made the job easier.

[@EDMTips]

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out!

[@juschu85]

@@EDMTips I also saw that video. And that's the "right" way to do it (even though it has one mini "mistake"). What we see here is the "wrong" way. Doing it this way, you have no control over how long your track will be. Doing it with the method of the other video, gives you back that control. The other method is based much more on the concept of what polyrythms actually are. You have a time window w and you want n+0 times that note, n+1 times another note, n+2 times yet another note, ... Of course, its still a polyrythm when with n+x you skip some values for x. e.g. n+0, n+2, n+3, n+5, ... Yes, this sounds pretty mathematical, but there's a reason you often hear that music is math. The other method is about how often you want a certain note in a certain time frame. That's the whole idea behind polyrythms. This method is more about the drift between the different notes. It still leads to a "correct" result, but in a more uncontrolled way.

[@Foxfall]

I actually tried it the same way initially with copying notes and the spaces, but ran into the same problem of the notes not lining up at the end of the sequence. So yeah I ended up reading a bit of theory on it and that was the next best thing I could think of

[@pirds102010]

Can't you do it with arpeggiator and record midi?

[@astrofreq]

BRILLIANT! My nerdy brain loves this. It would be cool to transpose the whole sequence mid song.

[@EDMTips]

Why not! haha Glad to hear you enjoyed it! :)

[@barryvan]

Wouldn't it be easier to have multiple stacked MIDI items which loop, with each item being a different length?

[@EDMTips]

I think so….That was the second way I was going to do it

[@volsteh]

can do it on my groovebox (deluge) easily, got track length per "note row", so if you can emulate this in your daw...

Weird but interesting. Same effect can be achieved by arpeggiator, which speed is automated. Am I wrong? Anyway thanks for the video.

[@EDMTips]

Not quite the same (unless there's a technique I don't know), as with an arpeggiator. the time between each note in whatever sequence it's playing is the same.

[@tylergillespie6888]

Idk about Ableton but I imagine you could do this pretty easily in FLStudio with the python integration.

[@EDMTips]

So I’ve been told! Haven’t used FL Studio for quite a while so I wouldn’t know

[@treelibrarian7618]

faster way: duplicate the chord across the entire desired length of the track. delete from the final few chords leaving 1,2,3,4,5... of the notes (for descending sweep at the start, leave all of the top note and delete [number of notes in the chord - 1] of the bottom note) select each note across the entire track, and stretch to fill the same time, without quantization or grid in effect. the DAW does the math for you.

[@EDMTips]

Great tip, thank you for sharing!

[@migats2160]

The reason why Virtual Riot used multiple channels for the polyrhythms is because Serum only has a polyphony of 16 channels (8 in your case). Otherwise it just cuts the first note when another note is played

[@EDMTips]

I wonder how quickly this could be accomplished in Cubase using the logical editor. I don't think any other DAW has a similar feature, and once you wrap your mind around the crazy power of the logical editor it becomes very obvious that Cubase is head and shoulders above the competition vis a vis editing midi. Unfortunately the learning curve is annoyingly steep. But whatever, I switched to Bitwig and haven't really looked back.

[@EDMTips]

[@320cam]

I’m going to be incredibly pedantic (and just want to say this is definitely not a criticism because this technique is wonderful providing so many possibilities), but this technicality isn’t a Polyrhythm as the different patterns aren’t confined to the same bar length. It’s also not a Polymeter as that’s two or more ideas within the same tempo but different meters/time signatures. I think the best term would be Polytempo as every note occupies a different tempo. Either way, this idea is beautiful and such a great job describing it!!

[@EDMTips]

Thank you, and thank you for the criticism, I've taken this onboard :)

[@paulthomann5544]

The VR track starts with all of the notes on 1, and ends that way again. You could keep the pattern going, and you'd have all notes on 1 in regular intervals of time. It's just a really long "bar".

Someone did a video, he just duplicated the initial pattern out far, then duplicated the very bottom not out another 8 meausures, then the next 7 measures and etc.....and didn't extend the top at all. Then selected the bottom note and stretched it DOWN so that all the notes fit within a loop (8 or 16 bars I think). Repeat with all the below notes, then shrink the note lenghts down to 1/8 or whatever and VOILA they're spaced out already. A bit faster than this

Hi mate as you cover mostly Dance Artists Talks and What not i got a perfect Dance Artist For you to talk about like Cover the Evolution History Of UK Dance Artist Called Example Aka Elliot Gleave. He's a Singer/Rapper from the UK Who Does Mostly Dance Music but allso Raps. He's like a UK Eurodance some of his stuff relates to. His Known For His Hits Like Changed The Way You Kiss Me and Kickstarts Changed The You Kiss Me and Stay Awake are his 2 Number 1 UK hits. Shame he wasnt much big outside the UK. I grew up listening to him really huge fan met him in person aswell. Please cover his History and how he fell off the charts after 2014. Would love someone to do special Tribuite to Example.

I think he programmed the midi in python or something instead of manually adjusting all the notes

[@Ari-dx3di]

It's not how he did it but it was a nice attempt anyway (also it's not supposed to take that much time to make if done correctly)

[@EDMTips]

Thanks for letting me know!

VR got maaaad skills. Where did he learn that? He just read manuals and experiment or what?

[@EDMTips]

I think he mostly just experiments like no one else. Combine that with intelligence and talent and you're there. :)

I love this black midi style production. Reminds me of Yannis Xenakis, Conlon Nancarrow or some gnarly Zappa. Love it ❤

[@spencerrobinson780]

I forgot to mention, a cool addition to this method is to map different FX to serums pitch. Then as the midi cascades the fx will shuffle and slide around

[@EDMTips]

Great tip, I will try it in the future!

god when is ableton gonna add a grid for arbitrary tuplets. so dumb that any modern midi editor would be missing this feature.
